Happened to some friends recently leaving Portugal and it cost them a fortune to arrange flights on another airline.

Our flights were also cancelled with RA and we got new flight with EasyJet paid for by RA and £160 RA vouchers towards next flight.I think your friends need to contact RA customer services.

But the costs were covered or recoverable right?

On a completely unrelated note, I used to use a site where I could just put in a few criteria and it'd show me the best deals by day, It meant I could pick a vague date and then see what was cheap around then. I thought that was holiday pirates but I can no longer see that feature, any ideas?

I voted hot, and I'm not knocking the OP, because I recognise the quote below is copypasta, not the OP's work.

Considered one of the largest cruise ships in Europe

"Considered"? Huh? Isn't whether or not it's one of the largest cruise ships in Europe a matter of fact, not of opinion?

Now if it had said, "Considered one of the ugliest cruise ships in Europe," fair enough. And with those internal photos to back it up, I'd certainly not dispute the opinion.

Look at changing the hotel and seeing what else is available. The code should work on different hotels.

Taking no clothes?

Well it's your choice I guess, if nudist holidays are your thing I'm not sure this resort would welcome you. Alternatively you can take luggage with Ryanair or if 10kg isn't enough then pay for extra luggage. Standard hand luggage allowance:

1 bag which must not exceed 55cm x 40cm x 20cm in size and 10kg in weight. This bag must also fit in our sizer and should easily fit in the overhead locker.

1 small bag e.g. handbag, laptop bag etc. must not exceed 35cm x 20cm x 20cm and should easily fit under the seat in front of you.

Hi there, Which area of Portugal is this in? I've never been there and have booked flights but not sure which area to stay in. Also, have you any recommendations for accommodation. Thanks, Rob.

Great hotel. They even have CBeebies on the TV channels from what I remember.

If you're going away as a couple, you can't beat the albufeira.

If you're eating out, the food is exceptional. I highly recommend the Teppenyaki called Fuji it's just past the new town, there's lots of nice restaurants though. Old town is nice for a chilled meal and a few drinks, New town is rowdy but if you fancy a mad night get yourself there!

For a bit more you can get a 2 bedroom apartment. I guess it depends on budget.

Seriously cheap price. There are hardly any direct flights and on these dates usually cost over a grand!

Edit/ They charge for fecking checked in baggage! £60 for 20kg, £80 for 25. Still cheaper than other flights though.

If anyone has info' on cheap mainland Portugal beach front holiday deals (in case my search for good Thomson's Cuba deals turn out to be a company stitch-up too :^), I'd be very grateful to hear.Thanks

Madeira isn't really Portugal, is over 1000km across the sea

I agree Mozart - although we all know it's part of the Portuguese territory, Thomson should make it clear they are referring to Madeira... I call it out as clickbait: they know full well thawe would think they mean Portugal rather than Madeira! I spent ages trying to find ANYTHING on mainland Portugal before realising they'd advertised hotels and flights ONLY for Maderia.

Thanks to the OP for posting tho'. I'm now looking at Cuba deals instead, so the heads-up for a white-sand Caribbean holiday instead of Portugal is much appreciated :^).

i booked for april 2/3 days before (apologies this was agadir-caribbean beach tamlelt fabulous! all inc cost total £1300 for 4 with flights and transfers 2 weeks easter) and then we went at xmas to marrakech for not much more flight and booked in advance stayed at pullman palmeraie resort and spa it was fab but was around £1700 hotel 2 weeks..but i got 2 rooms and quidco

I like bargains. I mostly use easyjet tho i always check thomson as such silly prices..last year may hols 2 weeks Bulgaria beautiful hotel all in was £1400 for 4 of us a suite and a room Thomson..i just browse til i get a good deal now x

Bargain! Wish I'd of spotted this before I booked Gran Canaria. It does work out more with baggage though £1,692.64

Why would anyone want to visit Portugal with their family? Has no one learned? It's a country full of expert kidnappers, child molesters, smelly child whisperers and corrupt police officers who turn a blind eye. I know this for a fact because Clarence Mitchell said so, on behalf of two most credible doctors.

​I agree with you. The travel deals on here are always out of a stinky airport like Luton in the middle of the week, badly timed flights and renting a car from some company I've never heard of. They are cheap though... I guess there's a reason all the good companies, airports and flights cost more.

Do they go to Madrid?

Flew with Norwegian to Fuerteventura last christmas and must admit this is a best budget airlines in my opinion. Helpful crew, nice and clean aircraft and free wifi on board. Would be my first choice next time.

​been screwed over by opodo (on flights to Rome with Monarch) - they book you on a different flight on another date than you chose originally, then make you think that it was a cock up that you made. Then charge u an arm & a leg for changes. I would definitely advise all to avoid opodo.
